"God wants you to blah, blah, blah...."

or

"God doesn't want you to blah, blah, blah...."

After spending three sessions in church every week in the 50s and 60s until I left for college, it suddenly occurred to me in the 90s that someone forgot to give me the number of God's private phone line so I would have direct knowledge of his/her wishes.

Never again...........
